A n*ked Russian artist nailed his own testicles to the
ground in a bizarre protest against his country's
authoritarian regime. Self-styled performance artist Pyotr
Pavelnsky hammered a large metal nail through his
scrotum and into the cobblestones in front of Moscow's
Red Square as hundreds of horrified tourists watched on.
Police eventually covered him up with a blanket before
removing him from the scene. He was taken to a clinic for
treatment and placed under arrest.
Pavelnsky has previously performed painful protests to
highlight political causes. In 2011 he sewed his lips
together to highlight the plight of the jailed Pussy Riot
group and he later wrapped his naked body in barbed wire
outside a government building in St Petersburg.
